This one-stop-shop for current electricity and magnetism takes middle school students from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, resistance in conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components, Ohms Law, magnetism and electromagnets. The module is divided into 12 fully resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 12 animated PowerPoints and over 170 assorted printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In eleven of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil. In the 40 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic. Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.

Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on particle (kinetic) theory of matter, the composition and properties of mixtures and separating mixtures for middle school plus a compendium of twelve games Each teaching pack contains between thirteen and eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built into the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. To consolidate learning, there are three sets of enjoyable and challenging games which can be played after each lesson is taught with the content of each set of three games being closely related to the content of one of the lesson topics. Find the pair Dominoes Wildcard/Snap. At the end of the module, to further reinforce learning or for test prep, there are another three enjoyable and challenging games which test facts taught throughout the complete module.

Eleven action-packed distance or remote learning packages which cover all the topics included in current electricity for KS3. These resources have been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. The simulated practicals take the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. Topics included Explaining Current, Voltage and Resistance Conductors and Insulators Circuits and Symbols Lamps in Series and Parallel Current in Series and Parallel Voltage in Series and Parallel Batteries and Current Batteries and Voltage Resistance and Current Switches Ohms Law Resources An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by: explaining how to use distance learning effectively; explaining how to use this resource; explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work. Four worksheets, and two cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint. A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning. A checklist for students to use to assess their progress. For those students without internet or a computer or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school. Ways to Use this Resource Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet. Students print their own worksheets. Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet and provide a hardcopy of worksheets for students. Those families who do not wish to collect worksheets or who are in isolation can print the worksheets at home. Students without photocopying facilities are instructed to write their answers in full sentences and to writs a sentence to describe any circuit diagrams drawn.

Nine action-packed blended learning forces topics including: What is a Force; Weight and Mass; What is Friction: Air Resistance; Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Moments Pressure Speed Hooke’s Law For each topic there are two packs to allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home thus facilitating blended learning and providing equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. Each classroom resource consists of an animated PowerPoint ( 13 to 15 slides) and 10 to 15 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. Each distance learning resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. It gives advice on how to use distance learning successfully and guides the learner step-by-step through the topic. The supporting worksheets include cut-outs, foldables digital quick-tests and progress checks to provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. Some topics include a simulated practical which takes the student through designing a table and drawing graphs. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources
